Should $4 in postage buy you a padded mailer?

My Ebay feedback profile has one Neg on it, and it was
given to me by a "jerk" in the Seattle area. I won 2 cards
from him for about $28 and when he sent me the invoice it
totalled $40.
No where in his description did he state such a ridiculous
shipping fee. I refused to pay him and he reported me to
Ebay. Ebay threaten a "non-payer strike" against me. And,
he also hit me with a Negative in my Feedback.

I appealed to Ebay regarding the "strike" against me and
Ebay upheld my Appeal because they agreed with my argu-
ment regarding this "jerk's" unethical shipping fee.

Then the "jerk" goes thru Ebay again to have me rescind
the Negative I hit him with on his Feedback, as he was
now willing to reduce the shipping fee to $6. Well, I
refused to rescind, and I "wear" the lousy Red mark he
gave me as a "badge of victory" against this jerk.

Incidently, last time I checked his Feedback Profile he
had over 40 Negatives against him. And, another 10 - 15
Neg. that he "conned" the buyers to rescind.
